Disappointed best describes it. Very dated that felt like a budget motel, not a resort. This is a hotel in need of a major renovation and thorough cleaning.

The property needs some updates - wood needs replaced, much need painted and concrete needs repaired. We had to pay $11 each to play putt putt but the course was in bad condition and needed cleaned off. It was inconvenient getting to the various pools and restaurants but they tried to accommodate by offering golf shuttle services that you had to phone or ask staff to arrange pickup. Although I never expect a lot of vegan/vegetarian options, a couple (besides salads or an occasional veggie burger) would be great. Parking was a challenge showing the main parking garage was full the whole time we were there even during a slower time. Where we had to park required A LOT of steps to get to our room so if we were handicapped this would be out of the question - no ramps. There in August and the pools were freezing. Room service only every couple days so they needed to leave more coffee supplies in the room or at least make it easy to get more. Staff was overall very nice and our room was clean.

So Much more than Paradise

I was BLOWN AWAY by the service here. From check in everyone was so friendly and helpful. There’s a shuttle that takes you anywhere. You are sent a text a check in, and that was wonderful! Our shower stopped working, and they had an engineer there in 10 minutes!! I would recommend this place to anyone traveling to the Ozarks. Infinity pool, indoor and outdoor pools, hot tub, it had everything. The room was beautiful as well, with a lake view. Sunset was beautiful. Will definitely be back.

Nice place and lots to do there. The reason I did not put a higher rating is because when you pay 300$ a NIGHT it really should look better in the rooms. The bathroom door would not shut. It had a ton of water damage in the bathroom.

I booked and paid for 2 nights however we left after one night. This place having the Margaritaville name is a joke when compared to other Margaritaville properties. My room was dirty, had bugs. Very old and outdated. Could not shower because the tub wouldn't drain after one shower. Had to use bottled water because the water is dirty like a gray color even after running for 5 minutes. The bed was uncomfortable. The pool was dirty at Land Shark. The best thing about this "resort" was driving away from it. Don't be fooled by the name. It sucks.

Conference

I don’t as there for a conference. I waited over thirty minutes to check in at 4:00pm. The room was just ok. The king size bed was nice. There was no housekeeping service at all during my stay. I was unable to get another hand towel. Multiple people left empty drinks on the table at the elevator and they were there the entire stay. Only one elevator worked the three days I was there. Way overpriced for the room.

Did not like the parking options. There wasn’t very much parking in convenient places, especially when they had a conference going on. Also did not like that they allowed people to smoke marijuana inside the rooms. The whole floor we stayed on smelled of marijuana all day long and all night long. It was horrible. Thankfully we weren’t in our room very much but to go to and from was bad!

Good thing there’s alcohol because you’ll need it!

Jimmy Buffett would be ashamed to have his name on this resort. There was only 1 person working at the check in counter and we were 4th in line and it too over an hour for her to get to us. Then, we had to park our trailer over 3 miles away from our room. When we FINALLY got to our room (over 2 hours after we initially arrived) the room smelled like mold and was filthy!!! The phone didn’t work, so we had to walk back to the front desk and wait in line again. The girl was friendly enough, but still did not have any help. We are NOW going on 3 hours, and asked for help with our bags, this time because now we are getting tired. A man reluctantly helped us with our bags, but was not happy about it. Our new room did not smell like mold, but there was a family of spiders living in the corner that I just learned to accept because I wasn’t going to ask for another room again. I went to the bar and had a margarita instead. I wouldn’t stay at this place again if it was free!! Beware!!
